Religious Zionism proposes law to bar Israel from releasing more than 1 terrorist per freed hostage
Religious Zionism MKs are advancing a bill under which no more than one terrorist could be released for one hostage, Channel 12 reports.
The bill also states that no living terrorists could be freed for slain hostages.
MK Ohad Tal, who is proposing the law, is quoted telling Channel 12 news that the bill “does not relate to the current deal,” and is intended to “deter our enemies from carrying out further abductions in the future.”
Families of hostages are bitterly opposed to the bill, the report says, fearing it would doom their loved ones.
